Description
Considering safe-cracking as a profession? This might be just where you should start. Build your own safe with a personal lock combination, store your most precious items in the safe (jewelry or candy, your choice), and then promptly forget your combination!
Is it a puzzle? Well, maybe that’s debatable. But it’s certainly a puzzling project to put the safe together.
Follow the handy steps in the instructions to master the mix of slow knob twists and careful listening to tumbler movements that will open the lock. Will you retrieve your items, or will you have to hire a locksmith? Try it and see.

Paul –
The pack comes with detailed visual instructions which are easy to follow but could be easy to follow incorrectly. I am very proud of my little Wooden Safe but there were a lot of points throughout construction I could have accidentally put a piece in backwards or heaven forbid, the wrong piece (as some of them are incredibly similar)
Definitely requires a clean area for assembly and I ended up using a little rubber mallet to aid in construction (not included). Also, you need a Razor Blade (to trim “joining bars”) and a Candle (to “lubricate” gears) (not included). I recommend taking a long tapered candle, slicing it in half lengthways and making a few “wax matchsticks” as you need to get into little nooks with wax near the end of the construction process.
Totally Worth It!
